FAQs

A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), sometimes referred to as a "Night Nurse," is a highly skilled and trained childcare provider specializing in the care and well-being of newborns. While not a licensed medical professional, an NCS offers expert guidance to families, helping them navigate the early months of their baby’s life. They work independently with minimal supervision, providing invaluable support to ensure the baby thrives while giving parents peace of mind and the opportunity to rest. Additionally, an NCS assists families in establishing good feeding practices and healthy sleeping patterns, laying the foundation for long-term well-being and a smoother transition into parenthood.
